JOB OPENINGS
Online job openings totaled 15,901 open and available positions in November 2015. Openings were lower by 4.7 percent (783) from the prior month and 21.8 percent lower (-4,423) than one year ago.
Of the 22 non-military major occupational groups, Healthcare Practitioners and Technical reported the largest number of job
openings with 2,042, followed by Sales and Related with 1,797 and Office and Administrative Support with 1,594. Two other
occupational groups also reported job opening counts greater than 1,000 (Management; Food Preparation and Serving
Related).
Three of 22 non-military major occupational groups reported over-the-year gains in job openings; one occupational group,
Healthcare Practitioners and Technical, reported an over-the-year gain of 100 or more job openings. The occupational
group reporting the largest over-the-year decline was Transportation and Material Moving (-995).
Of the twenty-four counties reporting an over-the-year increase in the number of job openings, Ramsey County reported the
largest increase (+76), followed by Grand Forks (+67) and Sioux (+62). Twenty-five of 53 counties reported over-the-year
decreases led by Williams (-994). Four counties reported no over-the-year change in job openings.
ACTIVE RESUMS
Active resums totaled 9,440 in November 2015. Active resums were lower by 0.8 percent (-77) from the prior month but
9.7 percent higher (+836) than one year ago. There were a total of 8,216 in-state active resums and 1,224 out-of-state
active resums.
Of the 22 non-military major occupational groups, Office and Administrative Support reported the largest number of active
resums with 2,019, followed by Construction and Extraction with 1,261 and Transportation and Material Moving with 937.
Fifteen of 22 non-military major occupational groups reported over-the-year gains in active resums. Construction and
Extraction reported the largest over-the-year increase in active resums (+190); Life, Physical, and Social Science reported
the largest over-the-year decrease in active resums (-20).
SUPPLY/DEMAND RATES
North Dakotas rate of active resums per job opening was 0.5 in November 2015. One year ago it was 0.4. Nineteen of 22
non-military major occupational groups reported rates of less than 1.0, while one year ago all twenty-two occupational
groups reported rates less than 1.0. A rate less than 1.0 indicates more job openings than in-state active resums. Two of
22 non-military major occupational groups reported a rate decrease from the prior year.
North Dakotas job openings rate was 3.5 percent in October 2015, the latest month for which data are available. One year
prior, North Dakotas rate was 4.2. The U.S. rate for October was not available at the time of publication, but a September
2015 comparison showed North Dakota at 3.6 percent versus the U.S. rate of 3.7 percent. The job openings rate is the
percentage of all jobs in the economy open and available.
North Dakotas rate of unemployed persons per job opening was 0.5 in October 2015, the latest month for which data are
available. One year prior, North Dakotas rate was 0.4. Again, the U.S. rate was not available at the time of publication, but
a September 2015 comparison showed North Dakota at 0.5 unemployed persons per job opening versus the U.S. rate of
1.4. Twenty-two North Dakota counties reported unemployed-per-opening rates of less than 1.0, which indicates more job
openings than resident labor supply. One year ago, twenty-three counties reported rates of less than 1.0.

JOB SERVICE NORTH DAKOTA
SUPPLY/DEMAND RATES
JOB OPENINGS RATE (%)
The job openings rate is simply the percentage of all jobs in the economy open and available and is calculated by taking the number of job openings divided by total nonfarm
employment (filled jobs) from the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program plus job openings (unfilled jobs). A higher rate is an indicator of increased job opportunities for
seekers. This supply/demand rate includes those working more than one job and commuting from out of state. The latest month for which North Dakota employment data are
available is October 2015. The latest month for which U.S. job openings data are available is September 2015. U.S. data taken from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

DATA INTERPRETATION
The OJOR contains a lot of data and information. For many, the issue becomes how to interpret it. While the top-line numbers get the
most attention, the emphasis in interpreting the data should focus on the trend over time. Since the time series is not seasonally
adjusted, the most appropriate comparison for any month should be the same month one year earlier.
